Abstract

The mass spectra of a series of nuclear substituted styryl ketones with the structure and several relaTed compounds have been determined. The major fragmentation pathways include such processes as an aromatic substitution reaction occurring in the molecular ion as well as the McLafferty rearrangement. Only one of the two possible α-cleavages at the carbonyl function was observed. The major decomposition processes are outlined and ...
